The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving British food

Quality has gone downhill fast. The chips all stuck together and the fish had rubbery batter, skin on and oil was not drained. Pretty grim.

Pedimos una ensalada, pero la equivocada fue entregada. Pedimos "aliño de ensalada" que la camarera no parecía entender, así que dijimos "aceite y vinagre". Aún perpleja fue y habló con un colega que trajo una olla de mostaza. Dijimos que no, "aderezo para ensaladas. Aceite y vinagre" El aceite y el vinagre finalmente se estrellaron sobre la mesa y el camarero anunció que el aceite y el vinagre son diferentes al aderezo para ensaladas. Dijimos que el aceite y el vinagre es un aderezo básico para ensaladas. ¡Dijo "no en Italia, no lo es"! Fue tan grosero y suponemos que este camarero nunca ha estado en Italia donde nunca tendrías que pedir aceite o vinagre. ¡Se les proporcionaría automáticamente! La sopa Minestrone estaba buena y finalmente obtuvimos la ensalada correcta!

We visited for lunch to see how things were under the new operator with a view to booking dinner for 4 visitors arriving the following weekend. The welcome was pleasant and service was effective and very cheery. The soup was tasty if small and a bit tepid. The follow on baked potatoes however were well undercooked and the cheese and bean “filling” of one was a thin smear of ochre coloured paste with no visible bean content. Dismal Needless to say, we have booked elsewhere.

Food is terrible. Bread is hard and not fresh at all. Sausages texture disgusting. For a cafe everything should be fresh not feel like it was made 3 days ago

Food was great, service was great. I had avocado and my other half had waffles. Really nice coffee too. We were in and out very quickly as had a quick turnaround.

Food was really nice . Service was fast & staff were polite although no one seemed to be local so not sure how recruitment works here. However, the food was lovely as I’d expect from Kentucky Fried Chicken. Only tip would be the chips could be a bit crispier.

Aprecio que el sabor sea subjetivo pero las rosquillas eran horribles. Creo que estaban llenos de mantequilla de verdad? Te aconsejaría que pases unos minutos más caminando hasta Sainsbury's para conseguir tus golosinas dulces a una fracción del costo.

If your trading hours are that you are open, please be open, on arrival I don’t expect you to advise me that we have decided to close early. Half an hour early especially when I have made the extra effort of walking to you. Disappointing but is this the norm?, please advise and maybe change your website open hours to reflect your actual opening hours to save anyone else a wasted journey

Given that the food within Country Market itself – the butcher, the cheese counter and the vegetables are all wonderful this could have been fabulous - However, apparently this cafe has nothing to do with country market at all. My salad (at over £7) was iceberg lettuce, 2 tasteless tomato's chopped into quarters, and about eight slices of cucumber. And the chicken was extraordinary! It had been cut into square sided wedges like chips and had clearly been cooked and then frozen. It was very cold, watery and the first couple of pieces tasted a bit like fish. Suffice it to say that I left the majority of the quite generous portion. When I ordered I was offered by the wonderful staff to have either mayonnaise or have it as coronation chicken – I suspect that was to hide the reality of the meat (if you can call it that) itself. They have no salad dressing. You can only have mayonnaise or salad cream – unless you want to put the malt vinegar they use for the chips on your salad. Olive oil does not exist and apparently they only use vegetable oil in the kitchen The redeeming feature was the coleslaw which was absolutely lovely – as were the staff. The cakes looked great and the people in there seemed quite happy with their coffee. They don't actually have a salad on the menu so I suspect they normally put the chicken in a baked potato or a sandwich but for those people who can't eat grains a salad was the only option. I was grateful that they made it for me however I think cheese might have been a safer bet! I was so stunned by how truly terrible it was that I didn't even manage to take a photograph – very remiss or you would've seen the state of the chicken! I was sorely disappointed – it was one of the worst meals I've ever eaten. I would've done better to have gone into the shop and bought an avocado, a couple of tomatoes and a piece of cheese! I know for next time!!

No te molestes si tuvimos hambre! ! ! ! Allí esta noche pop como dice fuera de cocina de 12:00 a 9:00 cada noche! ! ! Llegamos allí a las 6. 30:00h y nos dijeron que no estamos cocinando como una broma es un pub para beber no es un comer uno! ! ! !

El personal de la puerta son muy agresivos y groseros, mis amigos y yo tanta cola en la puerta por casi una hora junto con unos diez a veinte personas, puerta personal no explicaron por qué o si estaban dejando que nadie. Varias personas salieron pero el personal de la puerta se negaba a dejar que nadie en y no parecía estar lleno, no una manera agradable para pasar una noche de sábado. Luego nos fuimos al bar público en el frente de la Ryan Dale, cuando conseguimos sirve eventualmente una advertencia cuente el cambio siempre en el bar porque el personal del bar tienden a cometer errores e intentar timarle. El personal en el Ryan Dale necesitan aprender a tener mejores modales y recordar que los clientes son muy importantes y que no habría un trabajo sin ellos. Mis amigos y yo viajamos bastante lejos para salir por la noche, que no tienes la oportunidad de ir a menudo y ahora esta experiencia ha puesto todos nosotros fuera; sin duda nunca volveremos, ni mis amigos!! Yo no recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera, evitar a toda costa!

On holiday and struggled finding somewhere open for lunch. Service was fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. Food was OK, I think as it was an off peak time the oil wasn't hot enough as it didn't make any noise when cooking, food was soggy and oily. Had fish and chips, price was reasonable, good portion.

Staff aren’t great sometimes Manager is very hot/cold Feel like you get shouted at at times Drinks machine is gross Sometimes it’s so busy staff can’t cope cause there’s not enough of them sometimes Food takes a long time to come out quality for the price is fine

This owner obviously never reads his reviews as he has not changed in ten years - and the rest. A lady and her special needs daughter that we had met earlier on our walk came into the garden for tea and asked first if she could use the bathroom adding that it was "a bit desperate". Very rudely the proprietor pointed out that the only toilets were all ensuite and his customers use the public convenience across the river. There was no further comment or apology and he returned his attention to another couple who were not left alone for a second. Endless flow of advice on where to go and what to see. I was grateful we were ignored as that is not something I would appreciate; my companion enjoyed her lemon drizzle - she has a very sweet tooth, I had to leave my coffee and walnut as I don't, ( have a sweet tooth). The tea was weak. ( £15.00 ) It is a lovely spot but location does not make up for bad service.

My husband just collected the banger bundle.It was very disappointing. The chips were very dry and old. You could tell that they had been heated up. My husband phoned them up to complain. He was told ‘ well we are busy’. This isn’t the first time that this has happened. We won’t be going there again !!!
